Just as nutritional supplements for humans are very popular, so are supplementary feed for (pet) animals.
And often the areas of application are even the same for humans and animals. However, we recommend checking whether the individual components are also approved for animals by the EU.
Approval of Feed
You can find out whether a feed ingredient is approved for animals in the EU's Food and Feed Information Portal Database by searching for the product (possibly using the botanical name). This usually also states which animals it is approved for and whether there are any restrictions on its use.
Often, plant-based substances are listed as so-called "sensory additives" and are used to add flavor or color. Conversely, this also means that most of the ingredients should not be fed in excess.
